K. Thompson vs C. Mincher Fuller League
Keith Thompson
Fuller - Sidcup v Lewisham Match Report
Sidcup 2 v Lewisham 7
Result 2 - 2 Draw
Not a bad result for the start of the season. Lewisham won their first match of the season, 3-1 against Petts Wood. It will be a tough return match against them.
The results were as follows Sidcup‘s team is in the first column. The figures in the first and last columns are the players gradings:-
| 107 | Dennis Halton | 0 |
| 1 | John Allen | 155 |
| 101 | Keith Thompson | 1 |
| 0 | Cerden Mincher | 122 |
| 98 | Ken Grist | 0 |
| 1 | Lomy Mincer | 87 |
| 90 | Leon Hopkins | 1 |
| 0 | Tom Allen | 60 |
The evening started well with Keith, who played well to beat Cerden in 20 moves.
Our new player Leon then beat a young and up and coming Tom Allen, so giving us at least a half point.
Both Ken and Dennis took there opponents to the end game and both could not stop their player pawns from getting to the eighth rank and thereby, gaining a queen. Each would have been checkmated a few moves later if they had not resigned.
Special mention should be made of Dennis who fought a hard battle against a player who is much higher graded.
It will be a tough return match against them when they will be looking for a win instead of the draw and we will also be looking to improve.
In the end a draw was a fair result for our first match of the new season, hopefully better things are to come in our next match on the 24th November against Petts Wood.
